We exited the vehicle and I began walking to the front door, thinking that Kieran was next to me. Only, as he called out to me, I realised he was still at the car.“Come here for a second,” he said, crooking his finger for me to return.I did as he asked and he stood in front of me, a smirk on his lips.“I hope you don’t find this too weird,” he said, and I merely raised a brow in question.He then gently grabbed my hand and placed it across my chest. “It won’t be a very formal setting but you’re still going to meet my father. It means I need to teach you this. It’s the same thing that Daniel did. You place your hand here and bow your head a little. It’s a sign of respect for those ranked above you, as well as those amongst allied packs.”Oh, I did remember the gesture. Though I hadn’t known what to do at the time and just stood there. Was I meant to have done it back? Was I considered “allied” despite not being from a pack?“Like this?” I asked.And I mimicked what I’d seen.But it i

“Here you go,” Kieran said, showing me to a door. “You’ll be staying in here. All your luggage should be inside already.”I snapped myself out of my thoughts to give a smile. “Thank you. I really do appreciate it.”“And if you need anything, I’m just across the hall in the room over there.”There was a door where he pointed, and I promptly nodded.…And then… silence. Not quite awkward but not entirely natural either, but it spread between us nevertheless.“Um… well, I guess I’ll get some rest—.”“I’m really sorry,” he said quickly. Almost as though he’d been holding onto it. “Today could have gone a lot smoother and I think I may have overwhelmed you a little.”I stared at him, a little shocked that he was the one apologising to me rather than the reverse.“What? No, no, I’m fine,” I said. “You have nothing to be sorry for. I honestly am thankful just to be here.”“Well, just with the whole thing with Daniel being a bit aggressive… and then Allison maybe coming off a little strong. I

“Please sit down on the bed over there,” said the doctor, pointing in the direction. She was an older lady and quite pretty for her age, her most notable feature being her gentle eyes. She had introduced herself as Doctor Melissa Chambers. “Kieran, did you want to sit in the chair?” she asked without looking. A question met with a second of awkward silence between the two of us. We hadn’t discussed him being in the room whilst I was examined. I’d just assumed that, like human doctors, they normally were more of a private thing unless the person was a spouse or relative. But before any of us could talk, the doctor quickly shook her head. “Oh, right, I forgot… I suppose just wait outside then.” “No… hang on,” I said, hesitating. “Kieran should probably be here. You know… in case I don’t understand parts of what you tell me. I may need him to help explain later….” I then turned to look at him. “If that’s okay with you?” He nodded. “Of course,” he said. “Whatever is most comfortabl

“…Is that a phone?” he asked, still appearing shocked. “…Yes?” And he immediately walked over to me, starting to scan the area around us. Almost as if he were checking to see if anyone else had seen me. “Quickly put it away,” he said. “What’s wrong, Kieran?” I asked the question but still did what he requested, stuffing it back into my pocket. “Communication and recording devices like that aren’t allowed here,” he said. “It’s the only way we keep ourselves safe. They potentially jeopardise our entire kind’s secrecy. You’d be best to just leave it switched off in your suitcase and don’t let anyone know you have it.” …I guess that made sense. I’d been wondering myself how they’d managed to keep their existence so unknown all this time. If someone started taking videos of people turning into wolves, I could see how that would quickly uncover the truth. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know,” I said. “My friend was worried about where I disappeared to. I just called to let them know I was safe

“What are you doing back here?” Kieran asked. “Did you get lost?”I took a small breath and tried to think on my words, but there wasn’t really any way around this. It was pretty obvious what I was doing.“Your uh… Your uncle asked for a drink,” I said, holding it up a little to show him. “I was looking for the kitchen.”“And he asked you to get it for him?”“…Yes.”Silence.I tapped my nails against the glass in my hand as I awkwardly stood there, unsure if I was about to get another lecture about something I was never told about. A reoccurring situation that was becoming more frustrating.“Raven… that’s not your job. Especially not as my… guest. We have attendants to help with that which he should already know.”“Ok… but *I* didn’t know that and you weren’t there,” I snapped back. “I was trying to be polite. In a human city, it’s not that uncommon for someone to ask this. Especially for people who are important.”Countless times in my life had I fetched influential men drinks in ord

Everything moved quickly.It was as if all the things keeping us apart were now gone, and all that was left was the unsatiated desire that had been left to grow unchecked every day.And it… was a lot.A lot of pent-up emotions and yearnings. A lot of needs that were ignored.But, finally, it was time.Kieran had one hand pressed into my waist, his other holding my face as our lips moved in sync hungrily against each other. And all the while this was happening, I ran a hand down his chest, clutching at his shirt to bring his body closer. Pulling at him to envelop my entire body.There was nothing gentle in the way we grabbed at one another. No, it was urgent. Desperate. Almost as if we’d both been starving and there was now only one thing able to satisfy it.Just… pure instinctual lust. Nothing else.“Mine.”The word left my lips involuntarily. It was met with a growl of approval from him; the deep sound doing all sorts of inexplicable things to me inside. Already, I could feel that I

I awoke to the feeling of Kieran’s finger lightly tracing a pattern on my back.It was delicate, and yet I could feel the sparks follow wherever he touched, leaving a trail of warmth behind as he moved. It felt so nice that I could have easily fallen back to sleep again right then and there.“Good morning,” he said quietly behind me. My change in breathing must have given me away.But it was certainly a good morning, indeed. A very, very good morning. My body ached in all the right ways, the night’s exercise being a workout that scratched every itch imaginable. I was exhausted… yet so energised at the same time.“…’Morning,” I mumbled.I took a deep breath in and stretched my body out, feeling the full extent of my aches. However, unbeknownst to me, this was apparently an unspoken cue… because Kieran immediately moved in closer to encircle my body, holding me as we laid on our sides. And I turned my head to look up at him, meeting those hazel eyes.At some point last night, we had mad

“What about this one?” Allison asked, holding up a floor-length red gown.It was a little more elaborate than I normally wore. Typically, I leaned more towards subtle coloured dresses, ones that showed off my body without needing to be the brightest in the room. But this… this one was definitely a statement.…Not that it really mattered here, I guess. Maybe the new me could like brighter colours.“That’s fine. Just add it to the pile,” I said, nodding to where I’d thrown a few others.They were all laying on the cash register’s bench, ready for when I quickly checked out. I didn’t want to drag this out for any longer than I had to.But she gave me a strange look at that and hesitated instead.“…You’re not going to try it on first? I’d hate for you to buy something so expensive only for it to not fit. Or… we also have a few other stores that you might like. There’s no need to rush.”Oh, but I did.I was learning to suppress that feeling inside, the discomfort I felt from being around h
